If you spend a lot of your day in Firefox, but switch over often to dash off a new email, creating a link between the two is easier than you might think, according to one Lifehacker reader.

Dick writes in to tell us that if you've got your email/mailto: handler set up in Firefox (or Chrome, Opera, or any other browser, really), dashing off a new email to an address you've just copied or have to write out from scratch can be sped along by heading to the address bar and typing out mailto:someemailaddress@whatever.com. Want to speed that up even more? Create a keyword bookmark for the mailto: prefix, maybe something along the lines of em or just e. This won't save you much time if you've always got Outlook one click away, or only email your auto-completing contacts, but for occasional browser-to-email transitions, it's a good idea. Thanks for the tip, Dick!
